Nevada Humanities produces and supports dynamic educational and cultural programs that enrich our lives and encourage us to explore challenging ideas. Nevada Humanities unites us through our history and heritage. Nevada Humanities inspires us to engage in our communities and with each other.

The Marilyn R. Melton Nevada Humanities Endowment  honors one of its longtime former board members Marilyn R. Melton. This special endowment, managed by the Community Foundation of Western Nevada, will support the many programs, especially Chautauqua, Marilyn Melton helped initiate, while acknowledging her valuable support of the humanities. An artist and illustrator, Melton is a fourth generation Nevadan with an abiding respect for its history and welfare.
